Was reading some research recently done stating that woman generally report the most intense sex drive on days 6 and 7 after a period begins. A close second in terms of sex drive is just before a woman starts her period, days 25 thr 28. A distant third is around the time of ovulation, when an egg is released from an ovary. This is days 13 thru 15. Few woman have a strong sexual desire during their periods( the first fews days of their 28 day cycle.
